AURORA, Ill. -- Edgewood took a 40-shot lead into the fourth and final round of the Northern Athletics Conference Men's Golf Championship and breezed to the title with the day's lowest score of 317 today at Stonebridge Country Club.

The Eagles secured their second-straight conference title and first trip to the NCAA III Championship by virtue of the league's automatic bid to the national tournament, May 15-18, in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.

Edgewood completed the four-round championship with a total of 1,251 (317-309-308-317), in front of runner up MSOE's 1,305 (315-323-336-331) and third-place Benedictine's 1,320 (319-331-337-333).

Brent Quade led Edgewood with a 307 (81-77-72-77) and was the medalist at the championship with a 19-over par. Quade won the individual title by two strokes over MSOE's Dane Zachman, who finished with a 309 (74-77-82-76).

Quade's teammate Andrew Cobb, who finished third with a 316 (77-75-78-86), joined Quade and Zachman as the only other finisher to have three of the four rounds in the 70s.
